for STD's, and luckily I'm clean. But I read up on some stats and STD rates are sort of freaking me out. The amount of people with herpes especially is beyond what I could have ever expected. After looking this stuff up for a while I'm really considering changing my dating lifestyle. A question for the ladies... is it rude for me to ask a girl to get least get tested before engaging in any sexual activity? And, are there any people here that decided to stop being as open with sexual activities after reading such reports?
you are trapped, there is no filling in. you have nowhere to go, but to go on living like you lived before. of course it depends on how lucky you are...to find a girl to love forever all your life at once
blood and urine tested... thats true that to really find out someone has to do it more than once since the tests are not 100% accurate.
You can never be teated enough to find out what you might have picked up and when. That is why many people prefer abstenence over not knowing if the other person is "clean". Mastrubation either by yourself or your partner is one way to avoid problems.
And bandaging shut your eyes will prevent damage from the sun. Of course, there is so much I love to look at.
At this moment in time, i think it's totally necesscary to get tested before any sexual activity with a new partner. People who don't are just playing russian roulette with their health and genitals. The only downside is that it does cancel out the spontaneous element in the whole situatuon.
My college roommate got herpes from her ex husband. Apparently he had a thing for hookers. bastard. I would have been pleasantly surprised if any man asked me to get tested. It shows responsibility and I'm assuming he would get tested too. This shows he cares about my well-being as well. Are you going to wait til the results come back to have sex or are you going to use a condom til the results come back?
Oh, geez, I'm sure glad that I grew up in the 50s and 60s!! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! If I was growing up now, I just don't think I'd have sex with woman at all. I'd get some goats and sheep ....or holes in trees and fence posts!! Baron Max
did I what? say yes or get tested? I said yes sometimes to sex, but more often I said no. Many many more 'nos' were said. I didn't always say yes at the best times or to the best guys, but.... I never asked a guy to get tested. It was easier to say 'no' or make him wear a condom. No guy ever asked me if I was tested.
Seeing how one in five people in America have herpes I don't mind ruining the spontaneous element... Good reasoning I'll definitely make use of it. I think I'd rather wait to get the results back, if I can control myself.
I'm going to sound completely stupid asking this, but how does a condom prevent you from contacting Herpes??? i was thinking that condom would only prevent from you from the blisters on the penis and not from other sores around the pubic region, so how can a condom protect you from herpes???? Sorry if i sound like a putz
